Dental Surgery & Oral Cosmetology
Dental Surgery & Oral Cosmetology
Oral surgery is a broad term for any operation performed on your teeth, gums, jaw or surrounding oral and facial structures. It includes a wide range of procedures, including teeth extractions, dental bone grafts, periodontal (gum) grafts and corrective jaw surgery.
Laser Treatment
Lasers are simply very arrow electromagnetic radiation with focused light beams, which help to make small changes in tissues depending upon the treatment. Laser dentistry has been used in many dental issues ranging from removing the overgrown tissue to give a proper shape to the gums to provide luster to your teeth.
Digital X-Ray
A digital X-ray, or digital radiography, is a modern type of X-ray that utilises digital sensors instead of photographic film, as with a traditional X-ray. The image captured is converted to digital data immediately and is available for review within seconds.
Tooth Coloured Filling
Tooth-coloured fillings are made of a blend, or composite, of plastic resins and silica fillers. These substances mimic many of the qualities of natural tooth structure, such as wear-residence and translucency. Dental composite also helps strengthen teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth, mouth and smile. In other words restorative, general and/or family dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective – or desired – treatments or services.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.
Dental Implants
Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones. Dental implant surgery can offer a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework that doesn’t fit well and can offer an option when a lack of natural teeth roots don’t allow building denture or bridgework tooth replacements.
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery involves transporting healthy, live tissue from one location of the body to another – often to areas that have lost skin, fat, muscle movement, and/or skeletal support. There are several different types of flap surgery methods that may be utilized, depending upon the location of the flap and the structures that need to be repaired. The types include the following:
- Local flap
- Bone/soft tissue flap
- Musculocutaneous flap (muscle and skin flap)
- Microvascular free flap
Laser Treatment
Lasers are simply very arrow electromagnetic radiation with focused light beams, which help to make small changes in tissues depending upon the treatment. Laser dentistry has been used in many dental issues ranging from removing the overgrown tissue to give a proper shape to the gums to provide luster to your teeth.
Bridge
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap with one or more artificial teeth. A bridge is typically made of crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth supporting the pontic and is cemented in place.
Removable And Fixed Dentures
Removable implant-supported dentures fall somewhere between traditional dentures and fixed implant-supported dentures, offering patients many of the benefits of fixed implant-supported dentures, but also some of the drawbacks of traditional dentures. Although they don’t require messy adhesives and they’re securely snapped onto the implants so they never slip or shift, they still feel more like traditional dentures.
Ortho Treatment For Crooked Teeth
Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth.
Detection Of Oral Cancer
The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure. Most dentists perform an examination of your mouth during a routine dental visit to screen for oral cancer. Some dentists may use additional tests to aid in identifying areas of abnormal cells in your mouth.
